I truly can’t see ANY path ahead that leads us anywhere near a Final Four as long as Cal is in charge. So many other teams, with worse talent, worse NILs, etc find themselves at least in the hunt. The last time I felt this far away from relevance was probably year #2 of BCG. And even then, at least we felt some anticipation that the plug would be pulled and we’d start fresh with a new face. Don’t even have that at the moment.

Cal has done such a disservice to our program. I’m not as hard on Mitch as some people but allowing this mess deserves criticism. Hopefully Cal goes away after next season.
You're not winning in today's college basketball starting 3 or 4 Freshmen year after year. Hopefully whoever the next coach is will not go that route.

I am still hoping someone offers him real soon and he still leaves. It’s like we are living in the Twilight Zone. Thanks Mitch. You are as bad as Cal.

You’re spot on. I’ve been watching games last few days and we’d get murdered. Every time attention to detail. So much strategy. Cal is nothing but a grand pa now. It’s so embarrassing. Honestly we will never get back. Too many obstacles now.

I guess UConn didn’t go bowling. Just unreal.
I doubt they wash feet to virtue signal.

But is there a clear cut replacement? I mean you fire cal you better have Nate oates wrapped up without a doubt. I don’t think anyone else is capable in college basketball currently

And getting farther away every single day. It looks like we are going to see the exact same dumpster fire next year as we had this year, worse actually.

Not sure how many transfers are going to want to play for Cal when they see things like Thiero getting passed over, and you know players are talking out there, remember Wenyen Gabriel?

And to add to, most of the big name coaches have inked huge contracts this year, so no Oats, Hurley, Few, etc.. because we can't afford their buyouts.

No offense to you personally but that’s a loser mentality.
Haha dude we’re fans, we have zero control over any outcome of any game. I’m just saying, you get rid of cal, you better have a homerun hire wrapped up before he’s even let go.

Yeah I guarantee they didn’t go bowling. What a joke.

Name 3 that could handle it without having a down year or 2 at the beginning.
What do you think next year is going to be? I think almost any coach willing to come here for the money and honor of being at KY could bring some of their recruits (like Kal did when he left Memphis), pickup some portal players, and have as good or better season results than we’ll have next year with this clown.

Cal should have been fired after 2015, and most definitely in 2019, 21, 22,23, and 24. No other coach in US would get this pass.


2015? Why do you say that? Genuinely asking. 38-1 team?

I despise Cal and have wanted him gone for years but curious as to your thinking of why you wanted him gone after that season.

Here’s where Cals philosophy has us. Alabama and Clemson. Two perennial Football powers. Are playing tonight to get to the final 4. These schools think of basketball only as a distraction until Spring Football. Cals agenda of promoting his program only as a stopping off point on the road to the NBA is why we are here. Cal was supposed to be our Saban. Instead he’s Tarkanian.

Well lately he’s been our Dale Brown.

Whether it’s this year, next year, or five years down the line you’re going to have to pay somebody’s buyout if you want to hire a coach worth having.

Same. He has killed the program. We might as well be a mid pack mid major. These teams left would embarrass us.

This right here was hoping SMU but if they take USC’s coach hopefully USC comes with a strong @$$ offer…
